Entre la Haute- Corse et la Corse du Sud
When organizing your holiday itinerary in Southern Corsica, we recommend noting the most beautiful waterfalls to see from north to south. Indeed, one of the most beautiful attractions of the Isle of Beauty is the Prucaraccia waterfalls. Emerald-green natural pools and slides carved into the rock, all in a wild and preserved setting with views of the Aiguilles de Bavella massif.
A few kilometers from there, in the heart of the Alta Rocca, the Polishellu waterfalls offer the most beautiful natural pools on the Isle of Beauty. Enjoy the hike to reach them by taking the D268 to the Col de Larone parking area. From there, on foot after a few minutes, you will find the first basins of this waterfall.
In the Ajaccio hinterland, don’t miss the highest waterfall on the Isle of Beauty: the Voile de la Mariée waterfall during your stay in Southern Corsica.
Not far from Ajaccio, it’s a true treasure in a natural setting for a relaxing stop. For the boldest, head towards Pont Salicio, a winding trail will lead you into the heart of the forest! From Ajaccio towards Sartène/Bonifacio, the Piscia di Gallo waterfall is set in a very beautiful landscape around Porto-Vecchio. Quite difficult to access, but you’ll see, the reward at the end will be huge. It’s one of the most impressive waterfalls in Southern Corsica, in a fabulous landscape on the high plateau of Ospédale, with its spectacular 60-meter drop. It’s a major tourist site in southern Corsica.
